We have extensive experience in the drafting, negotiation and practical implementation of commercial IP agreements of many types, in a wide range of technologies and markets. By bringing together our technical, legal and commercial skills and understanding, we can assist in identifying fresh opportunities and new structures for deals and IP-based relationships. Our expertise extends to the specialised treatment of IP in UK and US government contracts and in EU funded projects.
We also advise on the IP aspects of corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, financing and disposals. In particular, we provide assessments of the protection afforded by IP, its enforceability and its relevance to the business objectives of the corporation. We can also advise on the contractual treatment of IP in such transactions.
Our involvement in due diligence activities has proved valuable both for potential investors and for those seeking finance.
